A video of that incident was last week getting more than 200,000 hits a day after being posted on social network sites.

In the latest incident, Joe Lock was travelling home to Burbage from work on Friday May 1 just after 5.30pm when he says he was just inches away from what he says would have ended in a fatal crash.

“I was in the outside lane when I attempted to change lanes,” said Mr Lock. “I looked in my mirror and all looked clear but as I went to move to the middle lane I looked over my shoulder as I always do and saw a small car similar in size to a Golf coming up the inside, I decided to stay where I was but it was then that a silver-coloured estate car, similar make and model to the one in the video, shot past me on the outside.”

He added as there are a lot of similar silver estates using that stretch of motorway it is probably only a coincidence. Nonetheless, he was still very shaken by the incident: “I have never been so scared in my life.

“I think by the way they were acting they were racing and they must have been doing speeds of at least 90mph.

“I’ve contacted the police and they have asked me to go in to report the incident but I didn’t get the registration so I’m not sure what they can do.

“I’ve been riding bikes for five or six years and I regularly use that stretch of motorway but this week I’ve been commuting into Leicester by train - that’s how much it worried me.

“I was sandwiched in on the white lines and they were both just inches away from me and at that speed on a motorway if I’d crashed I would have had it.”

Mr Lock appealed for witnesses to come forward to the incident.

“Unfortunately I didn’t have a video camera on the front of the bike but it will get to the stage where everyone has one, they already do in Russia to stop insurance fraud.”

Mr Lock saw the video of the earlier incident on the Hinckley Times Facebook page where he has repeated his appeal for anyone who saw what happened to contact him or the police.

In the earlier incident, the driver who captured a Nissan Almera driving erratically on his dash cam, said he hoped friends and family of the culprit would see his video and berate them.
